Are you using v1.5.1.2? v1.5.1.1 was released not long after v1.5.1 to fix the trackback/pingback problems, and v1.5.1.2 was released to fix a security hole.
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/TestTrack/index.php
is now updated to 1.5.1.2 for testing of pinging and trackbacks.

You could also try http://redalt.com/External/pingomation.php for a WP-independent approach, but please make sure that you have upgraded to v1.5.1.2 first.
Yep, at the bottom of the index page of wp-admn it say wp- 1.5.1.2. However, I notice that on my individual post page there is no mention of ‘trackback URI’ anywhere.
I tried the Pingomatic tool, I was able to receive pingbacks and trackbacks. But when I tested the same permalink (http://rohitkumar.org/blog/?p=4) to see if it had sent any track backs, I got this:
[quote]Blog URL “http://http://rohitkumar.org/blog/?p=4” has no last update record at Ping-O-Matic.
RedAlt has no record of pingbacks or trackbacks from sites beginning with the submitted string.
Be sure that your URL begins with “http://”.[/quote]
DO NOT BUMP.
You have added ZERO to this thread.
I’m sorry? I started the thread… I don’t know what to do… How can I add anything when I don’t know what is wrong?
For future reference can you tell me after how much time one can bump a thread? I waited 3 hours before I bumped this one.
And in case you were unable to read properly for some reason: There were FOUR (not “ZERO”) posts in that thread that I made.
3 hours ?
For another program I use, I posted 4 days ago to their forum. Still no answer, but I’ll wait. If you bump, someone else’s post gets thrown off the front page – no doubt where you want your post to be all the time – so then they could bump, then someone else and we end up with a really stupid situation where every post is a bump.
Can you see that this just does NOT work ?
The fact is that with 1.5.1.2, the vast majority of people have no problems with pings / tracks. It is NOT simply a case of the WP code being at fault, and to insist that WP be fixed for your problem when it is totally not clear that WP is at fault is wrong.
I will assume that you have read this. No need to bump it again.
Wait for an answer.
However, I notice that on my individual post page there is no mention of ‘trackback URI’ anywhere
That’s not a WP issue. When you designed your theme you forgot to put the proper code to show the Trackback URI.

Put this somewhere inside your Post (or Single) template:
<a href="<?php trackback_url(); ?>">TrackBack URI</a>
Blog URL “http://http://rohitkumar.org/blog/?p=4” has no last update record at Ping-O-Matic.
I would assume that’s correct, unless your blog’s URL really does have 2 sets of http://.
“The fact is that with 1.5.1.2, the vast majority of people have no problems with pings / tracks. It is NOT simply a case of the WP code being at fault, and to insist that WP be fixed for your problem when it is totally not clear that WP is at fault is wrong.”
I never blamed wordpress. I didn’t know that it was a fault of my own and I had been misguided by the large number of threads that talked about trackback problems.
I just wanted some help- moshu and macmanx gave it to me. I will never bump a thread again.

RedAlt has no record of pingbacks or trackbacks from sites beginning with the submitted string.
Be sure that your URL begins with “http://”.
I entered that bit of code you gave me beside ‘leave a comment’ in comments.php No luck 🙁
Don’t put it in the comments loop… put it before <?php endwhile; else: ?><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?><?php endif; ?> in index or single.php
The Ping-O-Matic tool is for checking when your ROOT BLOG URI last updated, if you put a permalink in there it won’t do anything. Ping-O-Matic has nothing to do with trackbacks or pingbacks, you probably should try the other tools on Redalt.
@matt: I tried the ‘pingomation’ tool on redalt, with the uri: rohitkumar.org/blog Still got this: Blog URL
